Kudi Chin community &Wat Kalayanamit

Kudi Chin community      is one of the Bangkok’s oldest communities.  It was a Portuguese community.  They came along from Ayutthaya with the Siamese after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.  It is a peaceful place and small area where we can walk by houses along the alley to the Museum.  One of the oldest churches in Bangkok - known as Santa Cruz church was built by the Portuguese in 1769 after the King Taksin granted them the land.
